[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 1012701, member: 41338"] Difficult extraction. Brass would stick in the chamber even with reduced loads. I sent the rifle out to a different smith to be checked out. He said everything speced out fine (headspace, chamber, barrel). The best answer I got was from a well known gunmaker, that one bolt lug was to small, causing (if I remember right) torquing. He said he had some pressure problems in the past using model 70's and for that reason, doesn't build on them for Lapua based builds. Who knows, maybe it was just bad brass but I couldn't use the rifle and am converting it to something different. Could be yours will work just fine and I hope it does. [/QUOTE]
